Golf Gear: Titleist Vokey Tour Van Design (TVD) wedges

The scoop: Designed by master craftsman Bob Vokey to provide golfers with the performance and versatility for improved shotmaking through new Spin Milled TX3 grooves and the tour’s most popular shapes and grinds.

The TVD shape is lower in the par (or heel) area and more rounded in the toe for a classic look. Each model is offered in two finishes (California Chrome and Black Ion) and fully-customizable — from length, lie, loft and weight porting, to toe engraving, personalized stamping, custom grips, shafts, shaftbands and ferrules.

All TVD wedges now feature the new, deeper Spin Milled TX3 grooves, delivering more spin for precision trajectory and distance control and improved greenside performance. TX3 scorelines produce additional backspin by channeling away grass and sand for improved contact between the ball and groove edge.

The new Vokey TVD-K are available in 54- to 60-degree lofts. The new TVD-M — available in 50-60-degree lofts — is the result of PGA Tour feedback on the design, shape and performance of the original TVD series.

The new TVD-M has a more rounded teardrop profile, matching the shape of the TVD-K, with increased playability from the crescent-shaped M grind sole. The moderate effective bounce of the TVD-M makes it an excellent all-condition wedge. Like all WedgeWorks offerings, golfers can craft their wedges to fit both their game and personality with an array of custom options.

What they cost: Vokey TVD-K and TVD-M wedges are available starting Wednesday through WedgeWorks on Vokey.com. They carry a suggested retail price of $160 plus personalization packages.
